Best Basic Panoramic Camera App: iOS Camera
Right there on the iPhone with a swipe.
Works smoothly with zero bugs in iOS.
Just one feature in a broader app.

Requires practice before you could use it smoothly.
By and large, the iPhone camera takes pretty good panoramic photos.
But this is all you get.

Plenty of tips and tricks for rookies.
Extremely limited in free mode.
Outdated, cheesy interface.

However, the HD version is locked away unless you pay up.
Furthermore, the app has a chunky, dated interface.
Can take pictures with a VR headset.

Buggy history with iOS.
More features than amateurs need.
Share feature doesn’t always work.

Panorama 360 has been available since 2011.
Also, some of the high-end features are locked behind an in-app purchase paywall.
Our one other dislike boils down to iOS.
Keeps resolution when you crop.
Loads of ads and in-app purchases get in the way.
Practically demands shooting in landscape with your phone.
Can’t enter aspect ratios.
Feed it a picture, and it’ll let you crop it to a panoramic view.
